I hear ya, but I just can’t get over having to stomp it down the drain.

I tried, but my eggs and bacon get soggy and the coffee gets watered down.

While architects and planners can make really dumb mistakes, there would have been enough people involved in a project that size that someone would have said “Uh, guys, have you seen these photos from 2001?”

The people of this country need to tell their would-we elected representatives to repeal all such restrictions. If a serious attempt to do to is ever mounted, the proof that it is necessary will be in the squeals of outrage from those who are currently privileged.

“The shower is the place to do 5 out of the 6 morning rituals.”

Maybe so with your significant other.

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:58:54 +0000http://www.theagitator.com/?p=23094#comment-2313648I expect the little jerkoff Korean “architect” is just brimming with self-satisfaction at his edginess & hipness & mocking of a historical mass murder in which thousands of innocent lives were ended/ruined.

Wonder what he – and his fellow Koreans – might think of a building that looks like a Japanese soldier about to deflower a Korean ‘comfort woman’; or perhaps a few dozen Korean civilians lined up in front of a firing squad. Somehow, I rather suspect they wouldn’t appreciate all that edginess quite so much then. Assholes.

That could be the ur-Lew Rockwell article: furious but strangely shallow conjecture about how some quotidian practice must be impurifying our precious bodily fluids (“Shaving cream is destroying your skin, turning it into a whining, pathetic, dependent, beaten, insipid layer of pasty pulp”), a kind of Gnostic self-congratulation on having escaped the veil of maya, and that curious dialect of almost-English:

“You won’t have the face of a tenderized chicken breast.” (What does the face of a chicken breast look like?)

“You will find that you will be able to shave ever more swiftly and with ever more abandon.”

“There are many thing that are true — the state is a parasite on society, private property would solve most social problems, rock music is tedious and stupid — but are nonetheless not generally known or applied.”

I didn’t know the mises.org guys had the necessary self-awareness for this kind of parody.

There’s this new-fangled thingamabob that you may have heard of called the internet. What you propose limits freedom and does nothing for the cause of democracy.

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:24:52 +0000http://www.theagitator.com/?p=23094#comment-2313065The definition of the “press” would obviously include modern media outlets, not just the printers of 1776. But in a world where their are limited broadcast frequencies those with money can and DO limit the ability of other to communicate. This limits freedom and democracy. What I propose would actually expand freedom and enhance democracy rather than limit it as happens now.

Jesus Harold Christ! These guys are geniuses. I’ll bet former Mayor Rudy, Dick Cheney and a host of Neo-Conservatives support this idea wholeheartedly though. You know, as a reminder for those of us who have “forgotten 9-11.” Stay terrified folks, it’s good for ya!

Just shave in a hot shower with a fogless mirror (the kind you fill with hot water) and you’ll be fine. The glycerin soap idea sounds good. And keeping water away from the blade after shaving is essential to multiple uses. Problem is the bathroom tends to be a damp environment so if you keep the blade in a cup of isopropyl alcohol (I know 30% water, but it’s ok, it’s the air+water that does it) it will stay sharp for much longer.
